Beard is getting a bag of money to take over the Longhorns, and he’s worth every single penny at the end of the day.

Texas fans deserve to have a great and relevant basketball team, which hasn’t been the case for years. If paying Beard a total of $35 million gets the Longhorns back to where they belong, then it’s worth it.

Beard went to Lubbock and made the Texas Tech Red Raiders a great team and took them all the way to the national title game in 2019.

The man is a proven winner, and Texas is investing a ton of money in him to turn the Longhorns into a winning program.

Now, it’s time to find out if he can get the job done. I wouldn’t want to bet against him.
